I think there was a point they knew there was collusion but didn't have the proof (which was before March 11), and a point in which they had proof (during the meeting on March 11) and with the blackmailing decided to agree cause now they also had proof of blackmail, and a point where they wanted to let everything play out in order to collect as much information as possible (after March 12).

Nothing in the rules says they had to not agree with the NFL, they now had evidence of blackmail, and nothing in the rules says they had to file their paperwork March 11 or March 12. So who cares that they took their time getting their paperwork together and collecting as much hard evidence as they could.

Remember the Skins named the NFLPA in their appeal which kinda put them on the wrong side of the equation and sorta made them defendants and by filing their law suit who knows how the outcome would have turned out for them plus they probably didn't want the NFL to see their evidence they had at that point when both sides were co defendants. Now that the appeal is over is it not interesting that the NFLPA has named the two teams punished in their law suit? It essentially now makes the two teams and the NFL co defendants, unless the NFLPA is going to use the two teams at some point to speak out about the collusion. At that point either the two teams are hostile witnesses and being forced to testify or the NFLPA has worked something out with the two teams behind closed doors hat for their help they will seek relief for the two teams at sentencing.
